Been using Capacities for a very short time, but for me it's the best blend of all the tools I wished I were using, but aren't for a reason or another: Notion: I love the databases, structure format, but usability 'gotchas' or the lack of mobile input or linked items keeps me from using it long-term Obsidian: Having to manage my own installs, too fiddly to make it what I want, and the mobile app not having mobile-first features keep me from using or recommending it, despite it being amazing desktop software. Roam & others: Eh... I need a mobile app and it seems some of them have burned their userbases with poor product decisions. What I like about Capacities: It has the right amount of 'Obsidian + Roam + Notes + Notion', I can leave notes, link them easily, but not worry about the fiddly management of a client on various platforms. It has mobile capture, I can send to Capacitie's mobile app, or use whatsapp chat to capture a mobile link (very key for me). Enough structure if I want it, but I can also just ship it a link, and it remembers it in the 'weblinks' collection, if I don't send it somewhere specific. And this was built with 3 people? Take my money, and hopefully there's a bright future for Capacities.
moved to capacities a while back, and it's one of the most promising tools in the space, it is already working great and I look forward to its growth!
Capacities is an absolute beautiful piece of technology both in terms of design and functionality. It helps to connect pieces of information and keep track of projects, tasks and other everyday responsibilities.
I've used almost all of the second brain apps. Capacities is by far the best. While not perfect (it's still a young app) its very intuitive and powerful for anyone who is familiar with PKM applications. Please support them, you won't be dissapointed.
They claimed that once you'd used its non-hierarchical approach to organising your notes that you wouldn't want to go back, and the strange thing is that they're right. Strange, because it's hardly the only option out there using tags and links, so there's something subtle going on which has very quickly made Capacities my preferred notes app. It still needs work: by their own admission the offline access is still limited, and a web clipper would be handy. Tables are still far more useful than side by side blocks. I'm a little concerned about future pricing: will the forthcoming mobile app be available in the free version? I'm happy to pay something but it has to realistically reflect the place of notes in my working tools. Having watched Evernote price itself beyond feasible value even for its "personal" version I really hope Capacities won't follow suit. But the potential for greatness is all there, and the team seem smart and focused, so I live in hope.
Best app ever. I can wait until they they release the Mobil version
This is an incredible note-taking app based on an innovative and thoughtful approach to knowledge management. Its object-based approach allows us to enjoy the benefits of storing in databases, but the linking capabilities take that further, and let us create a web of knowledge with ease. My favourite features are the page layouts, the different embed views for linked content, and the automatic record of what content was created on a day (found in the daily note). This allows me to take control of the knowledge I curate and I can customise the approach along the way. Knowing that I can then scroll back through my daily note to see what I was doing over a period of time is equally fantastic. Overall, Capacities is a genuine joy to use every day and that was evident within the first hours of testing it. Everyone should check out Capacities, I doubt they'll regret it!
I have been trying out various alternatives to Notion for the last couple of weeks and, for me, Capacities is the most promising replacement. For me there has been a bit of a learning curve but it is well worth it. I don't know if ergonomic is the correct term for a computer program ,but it feels as if a lot of flair and effort have gone making the workflow as natural and intuitive as possible whilst leaving plenty of space for individuality and creativity.
Great App! I really like the object based note taking! 🤩 Using it since some weeks and really looking forward to the integration of Task Management P.S. please consider Superlist for task integration 🤞🏻
